Get usb device serial number in Windows [duplicate]

I’ve been working on an application in Linux to retrieve the usb serial number using C.
In Linux I can read the file serial in /sys/bus/usb/devices/someusbdevice/
and this file will tell me the serial number I’m looking for.

Currently, I need to do something similar in windows, my question is:
is there a similar file in Windows?
Or which method do you know to get the serial number in C when working on windows?

Thank you in advance.
